Overclocking my graphic card

i have vintage MSI graphic card MSI FX 5700 nVidia 5700 it says it is overclocker but when i right click on screen nothing comes up on setting with regard to graphic card frequency. i wonder if any of those expert can guide me into the world of overclocking many thanks

Well you can use different software to do that, like ATI Tool for example.
Basically you can start increase GPU core with less steps in MHz and then to test for stability, once done you can repeat the same steps with VGA memory frequency.
But you should known that OCing will put your VGA at risk, also that is pretty old VGA so it will be more risky while OCing..
Also even OCed do not expect any difference, +/- 20Mhz will be not noticeable

ATIccelerator II and overclocking a graphics card...

Not sure if this sort of thing is allowed in the forums, but I'll pose the question:
Given that I fully understand all the complications that could become of this (frying your motherboard, your graphics card, turning your computer into a paperweight, etc), I have stumbled upon the program ATIccelerator II. I currently find myself with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 in my PowerBook G4 1.33 GHZ. The card only has 64 MB of VRAM, so its obvious that I could use a little boost in performance. I know that this line of PowerBooks run hot anyway, so I am cautious, but nonetheless optimistic, in using this overclocking application. I suppose my question is (with a "no BS/ I won't hold you responsible answer"): just how much can I speed up my graphics card for a significant performance boost while still playing it safe? Thanks for understanding!

I personally use that utility myself, but not for overclocking my graphics card, but for underclocking to give myself a little more time on battery. As far as overclocking, I have not had the nerve or the guts to go over +15% for both top and bottom. Your best bet is find a discussion forum dealing with it and seeing what other people have tried to overclock to. Personally, I would not attempt to make big changes to increasing the overclocking, but small incremental changes, probably not more than 1-3% at a time. Hope this helps.

Overclocking Graphics Card

What signs should I look out for when overclocking my graphics card, that I'm pushing it too far?

Several things:
obviously if the game crashes, or anything crashes: bad
checkerboarding: if you see any part that looks like a grid on the screen: bad
artifacts: if you see any white fuzzies all over the screen: bad
any instability: bad
make sure the rest of your system is stock before you oc it too much, you want to know what is limiting you before you oc it.

Overclocking Graphics Card Question

Does overclocking graphics cards have any effect on boosting power in regards to graphics applications: Photoshop, Illustrator, Vectorworks, etc. OR does it just boost power in gaming?
I wanna overclock my graphics card, but only if it will give some boost in graphic applications.
Thanks in advance~

Hi-
Overclocking accelerates the memory (if OC'd) and the GPU of the graphics card. All applications which use the GPU will benefit from the additional processor and memory speed, providing the over clocking is not done beyond the capability of the chips.

Cannot update graphics card BIOS, MSI Live upate 6 will not work.

Live update 6 does not support "MSI Radeon R9 280x Gaming 6G" graphics card.
Live update 6 does not run.
Even tried mass loading Live update 6 to the point it had 800+ "Live Update.exe 32*" processors running in task manager and they soon disappeared 20 seconds later.
No UI.
No Error message.
If the program is not running it is clear it does not support any of the hardware in my system including "MSI Radeon R9 280x Gaming 6G".
As a result I cannot update to latest BIOS for my graphics card.
Operating system: Windows 7 64bit (last update 05/09/2014 6 days ago)
CPU: AMD A8-6600k APU @ 4.60GHz
RAM: 8GB Dual channel Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer DDR3 1866MHz CL9
Motherboard: Asrock FM2A88M Extreme4+
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 280x Gaming 6G
GPU details:
Am I required to have an MSI motherboard to be eligible for a graphics card BIOS update?
The reason why I seek this is because the entire line of R9 200 series graphics cards are plagued with screen flickering due to ULPS. BIOS updates for other vendors of the card; "Gigabyte", "Asus" etc have been reported to fix the monitor flicking ULPS causes however since I have an MSI GFX card I cannot use Gigabyte and Asus BIOS updates.
I no longer have the flickering issue due disabling ULPS and overclocking the graphics card however it's causing the card to operate at a constant 48 degrees and chew power.
With the overclock values and stress testing it with Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 (extreme preset) the card reaches a max of 74 degrees over the course of stress testing for 4 hours.
But I would like to be able to have my card at factory clock settings with ULPS without the flickering and I'm wanting to see if the staff at MSI are fully aware of the bug in their product line and if the latest BIOS version for the graphics card would fix the issue.

No but live update is flakey at best and i wouldn't trust it.... (seen far to many problems with it)
if you want a Updated VBIOS if one is available please supply these 2 things and then one of the other mods will be able to get you what is needed!
1: Serial number of your card (leave off the last 3 digits and then there is no unique information about your card as the rest is all just manufacture data to all the cards from that batch)
2: click the little icon to the side of your BIOS version number and save a copy of the VBIOS to a file and uplaod it to somewhere and give us a link to the file... (use somewhere like Dropbox)
once we have those 2 pieces of information someone here will be able to get one if Available for your card

Upgrading Graphics Card of lenovo3000 N200

I have lenovo 3000 N200 laptop and it has 256MB of graphics card. is it possible to upragde the graphic card for 512MB. And if yes, any suggestions that which graphics card would be better?
Thanks for help and greets from germany!
eifelgeist78

Hi, you have an Nvidia 7300 Go card in your laptop.
It has 256 Mb DDR2 Memory. It can take from your RAM another 512 mb. That means if one program or game needs more memory, the system will give another 512 mb from your ram. it means your card has then 768 mb memory and this is enough for the application.
I think just to change the card for more memory is not a good relation of price for more memory.
My suggestion keep it like that.
But when you want to play games, which need more graphic power, then you can think about to change the graphic card. But it is an laptop, so is not that easy as by normal pc.
You can overclock the nvidia 7300 go to 7400 that means the GPU standard is 350Mhz, i overclocked my GPU to 475 (more than 33%) and it works with no problems.
BUT:
You need a cool pad, which supplies your laptop with cool air, and all guaranty is invalid when you overclock the graphic card.
To by an other graphic card is not so good, because the cooling system of your laptop wouldn't cope with all the heat made by the graphic card and the CPU.

And when you don't know what CPU or GPU is, look them up in google

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01

With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

Memory speed and graphic card slot

Hi,
I have just built a system with a P67A-GD65 B3 board, everything works fine, but while double-checking on the system's specs and performances I came across two weird issues:
- I have 2 x G-Skill F3-17000CL7-2GBXHD RAM sticks at 2133MHz, I have enabled XMP in the BIOS (with leaving all other settings in automatic mode) and the BIOS indicates the RAM is running at 2133MHz, 7-10-7-27, however, when I run the MSI Control Center (latest version of the app) it says on the home screen of this app that my RAM is detected as "DDR3-1600 (800MHz)" in the speed field. I also ran CPU-Z and it says there that my DRAM frequency is 1064.4 MHz (the FSB:DRAM value is "1:8"), with the 7-10-7-27 timings values. Which one should I believe? The WEI gives a score of 7.9 for my memory which is ok, and I am not running in any performance issue nor I am looking to do any overclocking, but I just want to make sure that I am making the best out of my money and that I am using the RAM as it is supposed to be used... Can someone shed some light here?
- I have installed my graphic car on the slot that is the furthest possible from the CPU as I believe they both generate quite some heat and so they should be as far away as possible from eachother. In CPU-Z I have a link width for the graphic interface of "x8" with max supported of "x16". Is this something that is related to the slot and should I move the card to the slot closer to the CPU? Or is this something else? Is there a setting in the BIOS maybe that can address this?
Thanks!

Both are correct information. The detected '1600MHz' is actually the factory stock speed from the IC chip of the RAMs. The readings of "1064.4MHz" is the running speed that the RAM is currently on so for DDR calculation, you have to multiple 1064.4MHz by 2 to get 2133MHz.
The reasons for 2 readings to be detected is due to your RAM being factory overclocked by manufacturer before it went on the retail shelves, which is very common. Most or any RAMs that you see with speed above 1600MHz are generally overclocked by manufacturer using 1600MHz RAMs for speed boost.
The graphics card slot will still runs at x16 with your card.

Need some graphics card advice for using 3D and Adobe

Below are the specs for the workstation I just bought. I'm planning on upgrading the graphics card to a GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB. The chassis is pretty small, and I'm concerned that it might get too hot. Does anyone have any advice as to whether this machine can handle this card, and whether or not I should by extra fans, or a water cooling system for the card? Thanks in advance!

Here are the major failings of that "workstation":
1) The power supply is much too weak to handle an upgrade to a GTX 570. Heck, that PSU might not have been capable of actually handling even its claimed 350W - but more like 200W. As such, it's barely capable of handling even that "workstation"'s base configuration with integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics. You will definitely need a new power supply (at least 550W, but preferably 750W to 850W) right away before you can even upgrade the graphics card at all.
2) That PC has only one hard disk. Adobe requires a minimum of at least one additional hard disk (preferably two or more additional disks) in order to run Premiere Pro acceptably well.
3) Change out the H67 motherboard for a Z68 motherboard. H67 cannot overclock the "limited-overclockable" i7-2600 CPU at all. And even with a Z68 motherboard, the fastest that you can run that non-K i7-2600 would be 3.9GHz.
4) As you stated, that small case will not be enough. You will need a much bigger case to handle the load from Premiere Pro plus all of the hardware upgrades that I'm suggesting.
Also, keep in mind that the company only offers "lifetime" technical support if you don't tinker with the PC's innards at all - not even a minor hardware upgrade or only for a vendor-approved hardware upgrade such as RAM. Once you open that case for a non-vendor-approved hardware upgrade (e.g. an upgraded power supply, an upgraded GPU or upgraded cooling), you will no longer have technical support from that company that you're getting the PC from.
As currently equipped, that system will run about 25 to 30 times slower than a fast PC. Look at payal's 622-second result running 5.0.3 on the PPBM5 results list, with the same CPU, chipset and integrated graphics as your system: It is already more than 12 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index) than a fast system - and that system is already running two disks. With only one disk for absolutely everything - the OS, media, projects, previews, cache and exports - it would be much slower than even that because SATA is only a half-duplex interface, not a full-duplex interface. As a half-duplex interface, SATA can only deliver data transfers in one direction at a time. However, video editing programs like PPro require simultaneous reads and writes. This means that the single disk must wait for data transfers in a given direction to be completed before any data starts transferring in the opposite direction.

New IMac GeForce 8800 GS Graphics card is really GeForce 8800M GTS

After calling NVIDIA I've finally discovered what this graphics card REALLY is.
This card is NOT the GeForce GS that was recently renamed to 9600 GSO. That card has 384 MB GDDR3 Memory with 550 Core Speed.
The new IMac GeForce is 8800M GTS.
Heres some specs on the new card:

Graphics card underclocked how to fix.

Hello,
I just bought a macbook pro and found out that the graphics card is kind of underclocked. It's running at 310MHz / 278MHz (GPU and RAM respectively)!
i found this only, haven't checked it yet with my own mb pro.
but this same graphicscard does 470MHz /470 MHz in other laptops.
So my question: has anyone already tried "underclocking it a bit less". i read that 450MHz /459Mhz gives like al lot more fps without overheating and. still not overclocking actually.
info i found on:
http://www.spacetitox.info/graphicoc/graphicoc.html
your thoughts?

No, you cannot overclock the card except if booted into Windows via Boot Camp installation. Although you can overclock the card from Windows it is not permanent. The card will return to its defaults upon restarting OS X.

Which NVIDIA graphics card for CS4 & CS5.5 Premiere?

I just upgraded to CS5.5 Production Premium but I'm still using XP 32bit. That means I had to load the CS4 version of Premiere and After Effects. Sooner or later I'll upgrade to 64bit Win but in the mean time which graphics card will give me the best bang for the buck and still be useful for CS5.5 later? Money isn't an issue, I just don't want to pay for something and not benefit from it. What's worse is Adobe doesn't even list cards newer than the 8800 and Quadro FX for CS4! Weren't GTX cards available before CS5 came out? Do I need to update a file in CS4 apps to make them accept cards for GPU processing?
Adobe and NVIDIA keep pushing the Quadro cards but when you look at the benchmarks it looks like the GTX cards do just as well. I will use the system for gaming sometimes so DX11 is a must. I have a watercooled i7 920 OC @ 4.0GHz and very stable, temps never go above 60C under full load. I have 6GB RAM and use a memory handler to access the RAM over what XP can use, and use it for virtual mem and caches etc. But my current graphics card is a slightly OC'd 9800GT w/512MB. My system doesn't like to scrub video that isn't rendered unless it's at lower resolutions and obviously I'd like rendering to be as fast as possible.
Looking around I see:
GTX560-TI @ $240
GTX570 @ $300
GTX480 @ $300
GTX570 @ $300
GTX580 @ $460
Quadro 4000 @ $550
Quadro 5000 @ $1200
So what's the secret? Where's the sweet spot?
TIA

The "secret" to MPE bliss is to get the video card AND Win7 64bit AND load your CS5.5. I really don't think that the video card would help much running CS4 on 32bit. Regarding which card, I'd say the sweet spot since you want to game and use CS5.5 would be to go with a GTX 480 with two or three fans (single fan reference design is too LOUD). Also, if you are not going to Win7 right away, delay your purchase and the next GEN of NVidia will be closer or out and you may either want one of the new smaller die-size cards or you could benefit form lower prices on what's available today.
Jim
So you're saying on Win32 and CS4 Pr, Ae, AME, the graphics card doesn't matter at all? That I won't see any improvement over my 512MB 9800GT?
If I was to narrow it down even farther, the most important aspect would be in the "preview" performance. I can always render when I'm not using the system but sometimes the preview windows hang while working on a project. The problem worsens as the resolution increases or as the project gets more complicated. I had the same problem with PP1.5 which is why I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to see if a newer version would help.
Cooling isn't an issue as long as a water block is available for my next card. I've read the 570 & 580 may be the same reference layout and use the same coolers, I'm still looking into that. I know I can liquid cool the 480, 560TI, 580. I have no idea about the Quadro's, I've never seen a block for those.
I'd like to go to Win64 but other software etc is keeping me from getting there soon. I'm looking into dual booting but have read about lots of problems with folder/file sharing issues when going from XP to Win7. I keep all files/projects on a seperate drive and some are shared over a network. If MS hasn't solved the sharing issues I'm forced to stick with XP. I have too many files that need read/write access and Win7 is stated to set all shares to read only. I'm still researching if it's been resolved.
So it's important to know if anything will help CS4 because as stated above, it'll make more sence to wait for the next gen cards for use in CS5.5.
The bottom line is, I built this system from the ground up just a few years ago before Win64 was so popular. I used the very best components (the 9800GT is actually the lowest componet I bought because gaming wasn't that important at the time). I'm running steady overclocked @ 4.0 and boot from an SSD drive. The data drives are 7200RPM and I bought the fastest RAM I could at the time. Obviously people were editing happily a few years ago on equipment inferior to mine. What's the catch? What am I missing to run smoothly on Win32? I'm assuming it's the graphics card because it's the only place I skimped. Maybe I have a software conflict keeping any version of Pr from working smoothly.
Being 3 gens behind, and mediocre at that, I thought the card might be a good place to start.

3 or 4? Graphics cards with MPE acceleration!

Being an experimenter with my new Asus X99-E WS motherboard after running about 50 runs of PPBM8 and having four x16 slots which theoretically can run simultaneously at 16 lanes, today I could not resist running a third GTX graphics card. In slot 1, I installed my GTX 780, slot 3 had a GTX 770 and Slot 5 had my GTX 970. (slot 7 has an Areca ARC-1883i) and I have a Samsung XP941 which also uses 4 PCIe lanes.
Amazing all 3 Graphic cards contribute to the MPE acceleration! If my 860 watt power supply had more output connectors and could handle the load I would have tried a fourth card. My best score with our GPU assisted MPEG2-DVD timeline export was 13 seconds with two GPU's and with the third GPU added I got a 23% improvement to 10 seconds. Here is GPU-Z showing all GPU's are working simultaneously. I had to duplicate the sequence 4 times to give me time to collect data.
Premiere 8.2.0.65 and notice that the GTX 970 is working harder than the other two

I guess I should have said that the GTX 970 is trying to work harder than the other two. Notice that the Memory Clock on the GTX 970 SC which should be 1750 MHz according to the specifications falls back to 1500 MHz when running any CUDA application, while The GTX 780 SC is running at the its specified 1750 MHz and notice my GTX 770 SC is easily overclocked to the 2000 MHz
If you have not paid attention to these confusing GPU Memory Clock speeds before there is no consistency which speed is specified. For instance they might specify 1500 MHz one place (like GPU-Z) and 3000 MHz in another test like NV-Z and on some specification sheets say Effective Memory Clock 6000 MHz and/or 6 Gbps
MPE acceleration is dependent on CUDA cores and Memory Speed (Memory Bandwidth) and now on architecture. nVidia claims Maxwell is 1.4x more effective that Kepler was.
I am exploring the Maxwell memory speed reduction without success so far. But it is not an Adobe problem the same thing happens on any CUDA application and also is on the GTX 980.
I still believe the GTX 900's are a great performer for medium to high end cards.

Graphics card HELP for premiere pro CC

So I've spent hours reading numerous forums in regards to what graphics card is best suitable for premiere pro cc that isn't overly priced (I.e. Quadro k4000 and 5000) I'm trying to stick in the 400-500 range for the PC I'm in the process of building. I need to know anyone's recommendations for a GOOD graphics card that isn't so expensive? I know they exist, I'm just not sure which fits best for premiere pro CC as well as the rest of adobe CC. I mean I hear people mentioning AMD vs quadro and GTX 680, etc. I know there's a list of approved cards from adobe, but that isn't what I'm looking for. I want one that will give excellent performance without emptying my wallet costing so much. Please, any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

Actually, I tend to agree with cc. That i7-4770 cannot be overclocked at all - not even in a limited manner (outside of the normal turbo boosting) - to start with (the maximum multiplier on the Haswell i7 CPUs is permanently locked to its nominal stock setting or its maximum stock turbo setting, depending on how the motherboard BIOS reads the settings). Second, that i7 has only four physical cores (albeit with hyperthreading). Third, no single non-RAID 7200 RPM hard disk has a sustainable maximum transfer speed above 190 MB/s even on the outer tracks (where the transfer speed is typically highest). As a matter of fact, I tested my auxiliary PC that's equipped with an i5-2400 and 16GB of RAM, and tested it with both older-generation GPUs (a GTX 560 non-Ti and a GTX 560 Ti 448-core), and while the GTX 560 Ti 448-core did perform about 50 percent faster than the plain GTX 560 (39 seconds versus 59 seconds - or put it in converse, the GTX 560 performed one-third slower than the GTX 560 Ti 448) in the MPEG-2 DVD test of the PPBM6 suite, the real-world improvement does not come anywhere close to the benchmarked difference (with either GPU, the i5 system took between an hour and an hour and a half to convert 40 minutes of HD material to MPEG-2 DVD using the VBR 2-pass method). This means that with such longer material, the CPU and memory performance comes more into play.
Oh, did I forget to mention that Western Digital and its HGST subsidiary are the only brands that offer a consumer-level (desktop, as opposed to enterprise) 4TB hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM? (Seagate's 4TB hard drive spins at only 5900 RPM while Toshiba does not currently offer a consumer-level 4TB hard drive.) Outside of WD and HGST, you'll have to buy a much more expensive enterprise-level drive to even find a 4TB drive that spins at 7200 RPM.
And unfortunately, at current street prices, the lower-end GT/GTX 6xx series GPUs are just too expensive for their performance. In fact, the GTX 650 Ti Boost and the GTX 660 are both priced too close to that of a GTX 760 for their own good right now (unless you go for a card that's equipped with the less desirable 1GB VRAM configuration based on either of those GPUs).
